During promotions for “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” the delightful Jennifer Lawrence graced the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s June 2014 issue.

After posing in a collection of ensembles from Dior and Céline for the Jan Welters-shot spread, the “Hunger Games” gal opened up about why she’s tired of being a GIF and the importance of having strong gal pals.

Check out highlights from Jen’s interview below and for more, head over to Marie Claire.

On maintaining a long-distance relationship with Nicholas Hoult:
“When we’re busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn’t text back or call. Life’s super-busy. Obviously you know what they’re doing, and you trust them. We’re so young that it would almost be like if we lived in the same city, what would happen? We’d be living together. At least this way he’s in the same boat as I am: We can go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other.”

On a conspiracy theory suggesting that her tendency to trip over her own feet at the Academy Awards is part of a devious plot to appear authentic:
“I’m trying to do the right thing, waving to fans, trying to be nice, and there’s a traffic cone. The second I hit it, I was laughing, but on the inside I was like, ‘You’re fucked. They’re totally going to think this is an act…’But trust me if I was going to plan it, I would have done it at the Golden Globes or the SAGs. I would have never done it at two Oscars in a row. I watch Homeland – I’m craftier than that!”

On fame making it hard for her to be the person she was raised to be:
“I’m a lot more closed off and frankly probably rude. I mean, I’m from Kentucky. I used to be very personable and make eye contact and smile at people, and now all I do is look down. When I’m at dinner and one person after another keeps interrupting to take pictures, it’s like, ‘I can’t live like this.’”

On suffering from abdominal pains and panic attacks during the press tour for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire:
“I was so freaked out, I called my publicist crying. I had to cancel Chelsea Handler. I was terrified to get on a plane to New York because I was convinced I had an ulcer that was bleeding. I went to the hospital. There was a bit of blood in my stomach, but they said it was nothing to worry about. I was like, ‘Really? Because I’m pretty worried!’”

On her candor:
“I’m not like, ‘I’m a rebel; I’m out of control.’ I just don’t think about things before I say or do them.”

On friendship:
“I don’t trust a girl who doesn’t have any girlfriends. I have really close girlfriends, but they are guys like me – girls who eat and don’t know anything about fashion.”

On rumors that she’s jealous of Kristen Stewart, Nicholas Hoult’s costar in the upcoming sci-fi romance Equals:
“There was something in a magazine, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, that’s hilarious,’ because Kristen and I are friends. I actually texted her a picture of it and was like, ‘Just so you know, this is absolutely true.’”

On being up against Lupita Nyong’o for the 2014 Best Supporting Actress Oscar:
“I was very happy I voted for Lupita. It’s beautiful when you watch something good happen to somebody when it’s well deserved.”
